Elevated Risk
IP 147.182.225.86 is a high-risk address with a threat level of 8 out of 10 that has generated 8,726 abuse reports over approximately nine months, indicating sustained and aggressive malicious activity originating from DigitalOcean's US-based network infrastructure.
The volume of reports for this single IP address is exceptionally high, with all 20 recent reports attributed to automated honeypot sensors. The activity frequency rating of 8 out of 10 confirms that this address is engaged in continuous scanning or attack behaviour rather than isolated probes. Detection confidence stands at 82 percent, reflecting consistent identification of the same threat patterns across multiple sensor placements. The first reports emerged in September 2025, with activity persisting through June 2026, demonstrating a sustained campaign spanning nearly three quarters of a year.
The dominant threat category is hacking activity, specifically characterised by Suricata alerts flagging protocol mismatches in both directions of communication. This pattern indicates that the attacking host is sending traffic that deviates from expected protocol behaviour, a technique commonly used during reconnaissance, service enumeration, or when attempting to tunnel traffic through seemingly legitimate connections. Such anomalies often signal automated tooling designed to probe for misconfigured services, weak authentication surfaces, or exploitable vulnerabilities in exposed network applications.
Site operators should block this IP at the firewall or network edge immediately. Deploying automated abuse-response tools such as fail2ban can dynamically update blocking rules based on honeypot and log data. Exposed services should enforce strict protocol validation and reject malformed traffic at the application layer. Finally, auditing authentication mechanisms, enforcing strong credentials, and monitoring logs for repeated connection attempts from this address will reduce the risk of successful compromise.
